SG579: Day Three of the 2017 Garden Bloggers Fling
In today’s show, I’m wrapping up my three part series about the 2017 Garden Bloggers Fling held in and around Washington DC. at the end of this past June.
Day 3 was focused on gardens in rural areas outside of DC area, so we will be reviewing wonderful private and public gardens in areas like:
The Plains (Linda Hostetler’s Garden)
Middleburg (a private Estate Garden)
Hamilton (The Garden of Ed and Pat Peters designed by John Magee)
and Vienna (Meadowlark Gardens)
Now, most of these gardens belong to private homeowners with a passion for gardening, while others are the personal gardens created by professional landscape designers (like Linda Hostetler’s Garden). Frankly, it’s always such a treat to see the gardens professional designers create and tend for themselves.
Day 3 also featured stops at the garden of the Chair of the 2017 Fling - Tammy Schmitt’s (SG542) suburban garden, the renowned Merryfield’s Garden Center and the Stone Tower Winery with views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
For today’s show, I’ll be joined by fellow garden bloggers:
Teri Speight of Cottage In The Court
Joanne Shaw (SG542) of Down2Earth
Tracy Blevins of Plants Map

What Listeners Are Saying...
I never write reviews but this is the best gardening podcast out there. Jennifer has interesting topics and guests and is not one bit annoying like some others are. I love that she involves her kids at the end of the podcast - usually with poetry or music. Really good podcast.

Still Growing is one of the reliably informative gardening podcasts from North America. The format consists of an intro (personal gardening status chat, seasonal remarks), an extended interview with a guest, and an outro with funny outtakes, side remarks, and some chatter (poems, readings) from the host's children. The podcast is focused on reliable knowledge - the guests are typically experts like academics, master gardeners, gardening entrepreneurs or public garden leaders. The intro and especially the outro give it a homey feel. Given I live in the high northern region, just a little below the Polar Circle, I'm always looking for more cold-weather oriented gardening information. Jennifer Ebeling is in Minnesota, so that's helpful to me! Vegetable gardening (my main interest) gets a good share, but is not predominant. Most topics transcend your specific gardening interest and are applicable to many styles: landscaping principles, vermicomposting, greenhouses. The episodes are typically an hour long, which is just fine for me.

Best gardening podcast out there. Her preparedness leads to a good interaction with the guests and brings out the best in them. Very informative and yet personable.

This is a great podcast. Really well produced and organized with good sound quality. I love the mix of information and personal touches. Jennifer has great guests and asks the best questions. You can tell she really does her homework. I listen to several gardening podcasts and this is my absolute favorite!
